“Little Uncle!”
Seeing how determined Xiang Bo was, Xiang Yu could not help but be slightly stunned.
He had kept such important information as the attack from Xiang Bo, and of course the others had only just learned of the news.
The reason was the suddenness of the surprise attack!
But when the other side found out, they didn’t blame him in the slightest.
Instead, he chose to stay and live and die with him.
Xiang Yu’s heart could not help but feel a little moved.
Sure enough, only the clansmen of the Xiang Clan truly care about the Xiang Clan!
With a slight exhale, Xiang Yu quickly said that
“Young Uncle, you are not good at killing enemies in battle, so you should stay behind and sit at the rear.”
“When my nephew has taken down the Qin army, he can also claim the title of king! When that time comes, we will go and fight with Duke Long again!”
Having said that, he walked out with his men in an extremely dry manner!
Looking at Xiang Yu’s spirited back, Xiang Bo wanted to say something but stopped.
What would he do now even if he told Xiang Yu that there was an ambush?
The Qin army was faking defeat to begin with, the net of heaven and earth had been laid, and Xiang had no chance.
Even if he is capable and really persuades Xiang Yu to surrender.
But Zhao Lang wanted to kill the nobles who had disobedient hearts among the remaining members of the Six Kingdoms, and there was no way he could accept their surrender.
So, this time, for the sake of the Xiang clan, he could only watch Yu’er leave.
With a secret sigh, Xiang Bo quickly returned to his tent, then wrote an urgent letter and gave it to Dale.
It said.
“Deliver it to the place I told you about, and someone will naturally receive it.”
Before Zhao Lang left, the two still agreed on a method of communication.
It just didn’t occur to them that it would be so quick.
And among these people, the only one he could trust was the dumb and dumber Dale.
Soon, Dale left the tent.
With a bit of sadness, Xiang Bo said to himself that
“Yu’er, it is my little uncle who has wronged you.”
At this moment, inside the Qin army camp.
All the people gathered, Meng Yi looked at the cloth and silk given to him by Zhao Lang and said, with a few moments of surprise
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, where did you get this information from!”
How could he have not expected that Zhao Lang had gone out on a trip and actually got such complete information on the Qing of Xiang’s allied army!
They were much more targeted when they set up.
Zhao Long laughed and
“It’s better for Shangqing Meng to make the arrangements first, and it’s not too late to wait for these matters after the victory.”
Meng Yi did not dwell on it and was about to give the order when a Black Ice Guard hurriedly walked in.
The Qin army was strict in law, and in the military camp, only Black Ice Guards using His Majesty’s warrant could pass unhindered.
The Black Ice Guard went straight to Zhao Lang’s side and said that
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, an urgent letter from Xiang.”
With that, he handed over a piece of cloth and silk.
Zhao Lang all but froze for a moment, this was the one he had placed around Xiang’s army camp to contact Xiang Bo.
But looking at this speed, it should be that he had only left shortly before the other party passed on the message.
What was it that needed to be so urgent?
Zhao Lang quickly opened the cloth and only took a glance at it before his face was solemn, and then he gave it to Meng Yi.
For the message on it was simple.
Night attack tonight!
“Xiang will launch at midnight tonight!”
Meng Yi said, with a cold snort, as he looked at the message
“It seems that they really think that my Great Qin is afraid of night battles!”
Zhao Lang said, with a slight frown
“Admiral Meng, is there time to mobilise in such a hurry?”
He had only just received the news, and the other side launched an attack that night, so there was no time to adjust.
Meng Yi blandly replied that
“It doesn’t matter, the response was already made, it’s just that we didn’t have such detailed information.”
“And it was a strong attack from the other side, so let the ministries prepare for it in advance, that’s all.”
Soon after, Meng Yi gave the order down.
Finally, he asked.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you see anything left out in this arrangement of mine?”
Those who are courtiers must have eyes.
Even though he knew that Zhao Lang did not know anything about the military, he still had to ask what he should ask at the end of this.
Even if Zhao Lang makes a bullsh*t suggestion, as long as it does not endanger the overall situation, do as the other side says.
It would be the right thing to do.
Then when the time comes to report the merits, put Zhao Lang’s name forward, and the Meng family will have a lifetime of peace.
Zhao Long was not very good at this kind of large-scale combat.
Still less would he feel that he had become a great master of the art of war after reading military books for two years.
It was just because he trusted Meng Yi, he didn’t think much about it, he just felt really comfortable with Meng Yi.
With a straightforward smile, he said
“Admiral Meng just arrange it.”
When Zhao Lang had given his word, Meng Yi then had the summoner convey all the orders down.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, for this engagement, I would also like to ask you to watch the battle from within the county.”
“Wang Li will be here to protect you.”
Wang Li nodded with a somewhat restrained salute even at this time.
Seeing the change in Wang Li’s attitude, Zhao Lang also just sighed slightly in his heart.
His own status had changed and the attitudes of the people around him were also changing, there was no way around it.
Zhao Lang did not refuse to this decision.
Zhao Lang also sent a message to Han Xin and Liu Bang, and all waited for night to fall.
It was night.
Zhao Lang stood on the city tower of Julu County, looking at the silent night, and sighed slightly in his heart.
The night of Da Qin was quiet and the starry sky of Da Qin was beautiful.
But he now missed the light-polluted night sky somewhat from his previous life.
Because those were the ones that had life in them.
Can’t we all build together and get on with our lives?
It’s time for the turmoil of the Great Qin to end!
The people have suffered enough too.
But today, this battle has to be fought!
After this restless group of ambitious people is made clear, there will be no consequences for building up.
Soon, Zhao Lang turned his gaze in Xiang’s direction.
The Xiang Clan’s main camp.
A group of Chu troops followed their generals towards their intended location.
Their general had said that the Tyrant Qin was no longer viable, and after this battle, everyone would be rewarded!
They were all ordinary peasants, but after several battles, they were now considered veterans.
“Do you think, after we win this time, will the general reward us with fields?”
As they marched, one of the Chu soldiers asked in a low voice to his companion.
For all Chinese, fields, are always the first choice.
His companion clacked his lips and whispered back in the same way.
“I guess I will, after I win the Qin army this time, with the fields, I can go back and beg for a wife, hehehe.”
Chu Jun was relieved to hear this, and said.
“With the reward, I will also add two acres of land for the boy at home, and the days behind will be better.”
Both of them laughed unconsciously when they said that they were happy.
“What’s all the noise! Quiet! If you give away the sound! A few heads wouldn’t be enough for you to lose!”
A general’s voice rang out.
The two men stopped talking at once.
Soon the army marched along and came to a river that
A general rode along, all the way to the front, and then reported that
“Great General, after crossing the river, there is the county town!”
The Great General was naturally Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu nodded his head, looked at the moon and said that
“Cross the river!”
Today is the day when his name of Overlord will resound in the world!
There was a wooden bridge over the river and there was no problem in travelling.
It was just that it was also manned, for this was the way back after an accident had occurred.
Although Xiang Yu didn’t feel he needed it.
Soon, the army crossed the river in turn, with Xiang Zhuang staying at the end, and when the army had all crossed, he said to the two Chu generals that
“Ziqi, Pei Gong, this place can be left to you.”
“Don’t let anything go wrong.”
Yu Zizhi said with extreme determination.
“General, don’t worry, the last general will do his best!”
Only then did Bo Xiang leave at ease.
When the army had passed, Yu Ziqi said to Liu Bang that
“Lord Pei, I will go and guard the left side, this right side will be left to you, you and I will take strict precautions so that the enemy will not attack.”
Liu Bang’s eyes flashed with a strange aura, revealed a smile and said.
“Ziqi, the great general is sure to win this battle, so we don’t need to be so serious, how about you and I share a drink?”
Yu Zizhi’s face was slightly solemn as he said that
“Lord Pei, this matter concerns the retreat of our army, we absolutely cannot take it so lightly!”
Liu Bang snorted at this time.
“General Ziqi is right, I just have the utmost trust in the Great General, so I will follow what the General says.”
“I will go and set up the defence first.”
After saying this, he saluted and left.
Watching Liu Bang’s back as he left, Yu Ziqi frowned slightly as
“Normally, Duke Pei is not such a person who doesn’t know how to take things lightly, why is he so rash today?”
But Yu Ziqi didn’t think much about it, because he also felt that Xiang Yu was bound to win this time.
By now, Liu Bang had returned to his army.
Both Zhang Liang and Fan Kuai greeted him.
“Big brother.”
“Duke Pei.”
Zhang Liang said with a slightly solemn expression at this time.
“The battle tonight is feared to be fickle, so Duke Pei should make early arrangements.”
He felt that there was something wrong with the movement of the Qin army in the past few days, even if they were retreating in defeat, they should not be so bad.
If the Qin army was only this strong in battle, it was unlikely that all of his family would have died at the hands of the Qin army.
Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang with a complicated expression. He had to say that Zhang Liang was indeed a talent.
It was a pity that he and Zhao Lang did not get along.
The matter of his affiliation to Zhao Lang was something that he did not say to the other side.
Only now, there was no need to hide it.
Liu Bang also did not avoid Zhang Liang and said directly to Fan Kuai that
“Fan Kuai, prepare your men and crush Yu Ziqi first.”
“Then destroy the wooden bridge!”
Hearing these words, Zhang Liang’s entire body directly froze.
Fan Kuai, who was on the side, sullenly responded to
“Yes, big brother, there are still some small boats on that shore, should we chisel and sink them together?”
Liu Bang, however, shook his head and said.
“It would be beneficial to leave some boats instead.”
When retreating, one is not afraid of running out of boats or of having them.
It is the fear of not having enough boats.
When everyone wants to escape and go scrambling for boats, then friendly troops will become enemy troops.
Fan Kuai did not understand this and took orders straight away, but did not leave.
Instead, he held his weapon in one hand and looked to Zhang Liang who was at one side.
Zhang Liang’s face had turned pale, and he certainly understood what had happened, and said, with a few miserable words
“So Lord Pei has already found a way back, so Zhao Lang he is really the Prince of Great Qin?”
Liu Bang nodded his head and said.
“Brother Zhao is indeed the Crown Prince of Great Qin, Ah Liang, I know that you and Brother Zhao have a gap, but Brother Zhao is broad-minded, and he will accept your sincere invitation to sin. ”
Liu Bang had no doubts about Zhao Lang’s broad-mindedness, just look at the fact that the other party could even tolerate someone like Xiang Bo, he must also be able to tolerate a talent like Zhang Liang.
“I sincerely ask for a sin?”
Zhang Liang’s eyes turned a blood red and
“The Tyrant Qin destroyed my family and killed my family members, and you want me to ask for sin!”
Liu Bang was suddenly silent.
Zhang Liang laughed miserably and said
“Since Duke Pei has already attached himself to Zhao Lang, then kill me.”
“It is I who cannot fight him.”
A strange colour flashed in Liu Bang’s eyes at this time, and suddenly his face changed, and he took the other man’s hand in both of his hands, and said
“Ah Liang, you have helped me a lot, how would I kill you.”
“But now that Xiang’s defeat is imminent, I have no choice but to belong to the other side.”
“Liang, you are so determined, I can trust you!”
“But in the future, you will have to be more tolerant and wait for the right time to go into hiding again.”
At this time, Zhang Liang first froze, then hot tears gushed out.
“Thank you, Lord Pei! I will serve you to the death in this life!”
Liu Bang slowly breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his opponent’s heart and soul.
A talent like Zhang Liang, how could he kill his opponent just because of Zhao Lang?
But for Zhang Liang not to be centrifuged because he had attached himself to Zhao Lang, he could not yet let Zhao Lang find out about the other party.
That was why he came up with such a solution.
Having collected Zhang Liang’s heart, Liu Bang began to give orders at this time.
Then standing in the night, he looked deadly in the direction of the county town.
It was not until the middle of the night that suddenly a colour of fire rang out from the direction of the county town, and there seemed to be the faint sound of shouting and killing.
Liu Bang then knew that the attack had begun!
He nodded to Fan Kuai.
Fan Kuai smiled heatedly, drew his weapon and shouted that
“Follow me!”
And then he led his men in the direction of Yu Ziqi, killing them!
Soon, a shout of surprise came first from Yu Ziqi’s direction.
Immediately afterwards, shouts of murder and wailing resounded throughout the dark night!
The night was alive with activity!
At the county seat of Julu.
Xiang Yu led his men and ambushed them outside the county seat.
The Great Qin garrison, would not put everyone inside the county town.
Once they are surrounded, it is a deadly place.
Therefore, half of them would be stationed outside the city, forming a handful of soldiers to look after each other.
At that moment, the Qin camp on the other side was already under attack, with fires raging and shouts of murder.
Xiang Yu is just waiting, waiting for the people inside the city to go and support him!
Then he took the opportunity to kill the county town!
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for the prefects to be opened, but he didn’t leave to move out, but when the men came out with half a team.
Xiang Yu jumped up violently, waving his overlord halberd and shouting that
“Kill!”
Only, upon seeing them, the Qin army did not seem to panic, but formed into battle formation!
Ready to meet the attack!
Xiang Yu has already realised that something is wrong at this point, but there is no chance to think more at this point.
Go straight towards the city gates and kill them!
Behind him are the many sons of Jiangdong!
It was the true elite of the Xiang clan, even if the other side’s gates were a trap!
With their bravery!
They can still take down the trap with their men, the sons of Jiangdong!
Just as they were about to engage the other side, the not-so-high walls suddenly lit up with countless torches.
Xiang Yu subconsciously looked up and saw a rack of strange crossbows he had never seen before towering over the wall.
And in the bright light on that city head, a familiar figure stood there.
At this moment that figure waved his hand.
In the next instant, those big eyes of Xiang Yu were filled with countless crossbow arrows!
The arrows rained down like rain!
Zhao Lang stood on the city head, looking at the almost dumbfounded Xiang Yu, and with a faint sigh in his heart, he said to himself that
“Yu, times have changed.”
